PHOTO - MF 565 tractor ( cab laws)

Hi Gang;
This is a 1980's MF565. 60HP gross 4 cyl diesel. They had 3F &1R gearbox with optional MultiPower which doubled the number gears hydraulically.The early verions only had a door on the left side of the cab, later versions had 2 doors with silver coloured cab.

TRACTOR CABS

Safety cabs became compulsary in England in the early 1970's. The only exceptions were lower HP tractors used exclusively around the farm yard for duties like scraping out cow sheds where a cab was too high. These tractors were fitted with folding rops frames. Today its only possible to buy smaller compact tractors fitted with rops.

CHINESE TRACTORS

There are now several makes of Chinese tractors sold here, mainly below 50HP. Very cheap build quality and low prices. Main sales to "hobby farmers" who dont know better.
